They have also received with a pro found and respeafol gratitude, the communication which-your Majesty has been pleased to ,make re 7 speCling the affairs of Spain, the Constitution ac cepted by the Junta, and the Report presented to your Majesty on the state of your armies in the se-_ veral quarters of the globe. They have unanimous ly adopted the Senatus Consultwn which your hue nal Majesty has proposed, and One Hundred and Sixty, Thousand brave men ,shall, participate in the immortal fame of your numerous and formidable '„ legions. You believe in_the Peace of the Conthient, Sire, • but you will not suffer yourself qo depend-upon th e errors and' perverse calculations of foreign Courts. • Your Majesty desires to defend solemn and ,volun tarily concluded treaties—to maintain a Constitu tion freely discussed; adopted, and sworn to, by a National Junta—to suppress a barbarous anarchy, which now covers Spain with blood and mourning, and threatens our frontiers—to rescue the true Spa niards from a shameful yoke by which they.are op pressed—to assure to theni the happiness of beipg go verned by a brother of your Majesty—to annihilate the English troops, who unite their arms with the daggers of the banditti—to avenge the French blood so basely shed—to put out of all.doubt the security of France, and the peace of our posterity—to re store and complete the work of, LOUIS XW.-19 ac complish the wish of the_ most illu§nidus of your predecessors, and particularly - . orh-ini - Wiio was by France 'most beloved—to extend your great power, in order to i diminish the miseries of" war, and to com pel the enemy of the Continent to a general peace, hich is the sole object of all your measures, and the only epoch for the repose and prosperity of 'our. Country. The will of the 'French people is, there fore, Sire, the same as Oat. of your Majesty. T;ie war with Spain is politic, just, and necessary. " The French, who are penetrated with atfeCtion for the Hero whom they admire—who' display so much.enthusiam whenever - they have the good for tune to 'behold you, will ansWer the call of your Majesty with zeal, and nothing shake the determination of the Senate and the People to sup port your Majesty in every undertaking which you may judge ne g wessary for the great interests of the , Empire. f‘ May it therefore please your Majesty to accept this new tribute of uur respect, our attachment, and our fidelity." SZNATUS CONSULTUM. The Senatus Consultum retened to in the above Address, and which is in c on f o r m ity With the Mini ster of War's Report, is of the following tenor ART. I. There are placed at the disposal of the Government 80,000 'Conscripts, who are inscribed in the classes tor . 1806, 1807,1808, 1809 ; 20,000 for each year.

V. Eighty thousand Cohscripts,from the classes Of the year 1810, ate also photd at the disposal of the Government. • . VI. These Conscripts shall be allottecito the for, . !nation of corps for the deleme of the coast, but shall not be called out before, the Ist of January next, unless before that period some other Power shall be in a state of war with France. In this case they may be immediately called - into a6lual service. VII. The present 4,enuitis_Cmsultivn shall, .be transmitted by ameSsage'to the Emperor and King. In the sitting of — the Senate of the tOth of this month, the Senator Count LAoEftna, in the name of the Committee appointed to teport on th e objet of the Senatus . Consu num, Jac. made a report, which he introduced by a long speech, in the conclusion o f which he thus expressed liiinself:- 7 " The 80,000 brave men, who march to lultill.the voice of their country, have already 'reached those years in which it is unnecessary for them to prepare themselves for the fatigues of war. What, wl!en compared with the means of France, are tbose.Of such Governments as expend in 'one year the revenues of several years, and wasting, their most precious capitals,-scarcely pay tho , ,e soldiers rai,ed with difficulty , by the, country, with an imaginary coinage, the idtal value of which .idccreases every day, while the welfare of the State, . the riches of private individuals, and, what is still worse, the good faith of all are, dragged into an abyss." All the great roads leading from Mentz to the in terior of France, are' at present covered with troops from the grand army, on their march towards Spairj. As theSe troops follow each other so rapidly that they, would incommode each other if they all took the game road, their march is di teaed in Various columns. The first goes by Triers'and Luemberg, across the undsruck ; the second marches by Keyserslautern to Metz and Verdun; the third goes by Tuckheim, tlewstadt, Saarburg, Luneville, Scc. These an d ,Bayon ne , colUmns go dire& to •Bourdeatix The fourth follows the course of the Rhine, and passes t hrb' Worms, Spiers,Strasburgh, Colmar, B e s s - i mm, and will pass through Dijon to Perpignan. The co- lumns. whiCh come through Wesel take the route of .Belguise. A Letter from Vittoria of the tat Sep!ember, tains the following :—" The 59th regiment of the line entered St. Sebastian on the 28th of Augtast." It is also understood that 8000 men have come t to Bayonne, and that the passage of troops. out of all parts of France is incessant. Never were seen greater preparations than have now been collected 'of mili tary-stores, provtsions, clothing, &c. The Emperor 'has ordered to be •in readiness 10,000. waggons„ a la Marlborough, for the conveyance of a sufficient quantity of Priwisions for the support of an army of 200,000 men .during three months: Marshal NEY is at Bayonne. . The latest intelligence from Bayonne is of the 10th September. According to accounts which have been received there from Spain, the corps of the army are in the same positions. The division of the left wing, under Marshal Moarftv, has its head quarters at LogrOne-and Viana ; its advanced .posts have had several skirmishes with the Spaniards, who; as much as possible avoid fighting, and disperse as . soon ;IS . attacked. Marshal BESSIERES, who has the command of the right. wing, continues in the same positions, which extent] as far as Burgos. ' Bayonne assumes more, and more : a_ military as pest : a camp for 3000 men has been pitched on the Glacis, and it may be so enlarged as to contain 8000 troops ;_athe inhabitants are to be relieved from providing quarters. Ir.. the mean_ time the. Mayor of Bayonne has required the inhabitants, by proclamation,. to receive with kindness the brave men who have never ceased to conquer. The-Mayor will be obliged for some time to increase the lodg ings ; :he proprietors of great houses shall accom modate the Chiefs of the army, and the absent must take care that their houses are not shut up. " Let us," says the Mayor, " with all our means, contribute to the accomplishment of the great designs of our illustrious Emperor, who has declared to his people, that before the end of the presefit year not a village in Spain shall be' in a state of insurrection:: "We shall be the first," he adds, " to enjoy the advan tages arising from:the restoration of order in that ex tensive country." On the toth instant, a numerous corps of troops arrived at Metz, on their route for Spain. Matte entrance of the city, a costly trisimphal arch was ereeled. The troops were entertained, in the even ing the city was illuminated, and the - theatre was' opened gt atis. . . The King of NAPLES arrived at Rome on the 3d instant, at five in the morning. GeneralMweets, with his Staff, went to receive =his Majesty, and the whole garrison was under arms. . PARIS, SEPT. W.—The journal de ]'Empire of this day gives the 'present position of the French army in Spain, in an article from Vittoria, dated the -6th of September. The principal corps of the army, Where, his Majesty is, holds the two banks of the . Ebro, and all the defiles of the mountains of Bis cay; the head-quarters-at Miranda. The corps of Marshal BESSIERES CliltiniS from Pancorbe. to Bur afos, which last city is held by the li g h t cavalry-'of Caeneral LASA LLE. The head -quarters of BESSIERES are placed at Santa Maria. Defiles in the mountains have been exploded which were hitherto UnknOwn, and which will very much promote the further ope ratiOnS of the army. All the troops awaitwith im patience the signal for the combat, and burn with desire to meet the guglish• A great number of troops come here daily, who go to strengthen the army of Spain. Marshal Joule- DAN is arrived at his • head-quitters, and 'Marshal NEY is expected to-morrow or the day after. The Ministers and Members 'of the Junta of Bayonne are at Miranda with, the King. -PA R IS. SEPT. 18.—The Moniteur of yesterday has notified, that the Meeting of the Legislative Body is to take place on: the 25th of Oelober, and not on the 28th, as formerly direaech On the 16th a Council of State was held at St. Cloud, at. which the - Emperor was present. , On the day before his Majesty was at Versaillea," where he reviewed the 3d regiment of dragoons, on their march to Spain. . Letters front Tours, state, that a column of the Grant! Army is speedily to pass through • that de partment, and that its passage will occupy 'twelve days, in the proportion of about 2000 men a day. In the like manner, 17.000 men of the same 'army are expected to pass through Nancy between the 14th'and 226.—Preparationsare also made for" the passage of a vast number of troops, both inCintry and cavalry ; and a Portuguese regiment of cavalry, aboctt a v,eel: ago marched through Lyons. A part of the French troops in the kingdom of Italy have received orders to break up, and to proceed.through France to, Spain. 1.%t0 divisions of Italian troops are also expelled in France ; but these, it is said, are not to serve against. the Spaniards. Most of the Polish troops which have been taken into French paY l , and which amountt - to about 8000 men, have already passed through Mentz. It is said altar early next month the Emperor, will leave this capital for Saxony. The Dutch Papers already report, that the Emperor of Russia is to be accompanied on his journey by the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Weimar, in whose.capital he is soon ex peeled to arrive. The Journal de l'Empire has published particular account of the joyful manner .in which . the King of the Two Sicihes was received on his entrance into Naples on the 6th instant. Th e same P a p er g i ves the 'following intelligence from Spain, in a letter dated Vittoria, September 8 The Duke D 4 FittAs is appointed Envoy 'froth his Catholic Majesty to the.limperor . of the French. The "appointment for the Embassy to Vienna is completed, but is riot yet wade public. DOD BAN ITO PARDO DE FIGUERA, who WWI appointed Envoy to Pei..:rsbur.o by_FER DINANto VII. is continiaed in that clianeteir by his Majesty, and new credeiltials have been transmitted to hint.", His Catholic Majesty arrived on the 31st at Cab horra; where he was received with the most lively demonstrations of joy. The enemy„ who have lett Tudela, are pursued in their flight.

HAGUE, SEPT. 23.—The Moniieur, and the other Paris Newspapers, have again not arrived here to day by the usual post. BILBOA, SEPT. 23.—0 n the 26th, 27th, and 28th of August, was held here a general and extraordi nary Junta of the Province of Biscay, and under the Presidency (by appointment of his Catholic` ajesty) of his Excellency Don JOSEPH DOMINGO DE MAs- SAREDO, Captain-General of ,the Navy, Minister for Maritime Affairs, &c. At the opening rif the first Sitting, and after their fall powers had been delivered in by the Deputies from t 13 Cominnniiies, which haVe the right of de putation to the General Assembly, in which to The number of 108 were'present, the following Speech was delivered by the President : " Biscayans !--The unfortunate occurrences which have indUced the king to give orders for as sembling the Deputies of these. provinces, must, doubtless, be disagreeablb to you, chiefly on account of the evils suffered by many of your countrymen.- But you have the testimony of your own consciences, . and the happiness of seeing that this province has had no share in the insurreaion, which has been excited only in the city of Bilboa, ley worthlesa per.: sons of no weight, enemies as well of your province as of the public tranquillity, and who led astray the , common people, ps is geperally the case, -for the purpose of fettering the General Congress, .end sub stituting a cruel anarchy in its place. " It is not unknown to you, Inhabitants of Biscay, that these disturbances, and those which the whole kingdom yet suffers, have arisen from the errs into which the general feelings have been led away, and by'giviipg more weight to indiviNal passfops than to reason' and the common good.; and these have risen to such a height, that the rights of widows, the lamentations of children, the miseries of Mis guided families, and general desolation, are counted as nothing. Heaven grant that the mischiefs which our native country has already suffered be .not fol lowed by new disasters ! For only by weighing well the dangers which threaten Can it avoid them. , " There is no longer any untertainiy.' The EM:'' peror NAPOLEON cannot possibly depart from the.' resolution which he has taken. The great Powers o f the Continent haVe acknowledged JOSEPIi LEON as King of Spain, and have sent to their M inisters nev credentials. Dreadful armies approach for the purpoSe of effeauating - the undertaking. : " Biscayans ! his Majesty has ordered Me to nk serrible you, Ist. know from yourselves ‘A;hat share you have had in the insurreaion excited in the City of Bilboa ; whether you approved of or abhor . - red it.-2d. To assure you, in case you disapprove of it, that his Majesty has consigned to oblivion the mistakes and errors of the insurgents, and that he - will punish only the heads and beginners of the in surrection, with regard to whom the law must take its course, for the purpose cif preventing them in fa ture froin.disturbing your repose a lid prosperity.- 3d. In order to make known to you his ,beneficent designis, and to place befirre you and make you :ic quainted with his wishes for all that. may contribute to the ptosperity of your country. " You will deliberate on each of those subjects in succession, and in the order in which they shall be submitted to you. " There . s!iall be. named a Committee of three intelligent . persons, to whom it, shall be given in charge, to spbMit to his Majesty all that may s con tribute to' the accomplishment of the plans which . 'his Majesty !IS formed for . yotfr adValifr 4e -- ;:',for the .King knowing how much my, soul haS been plung ed in grief by the news of the disturbance Which have laid waste his country, has ordered Me imme diately, and in respe6t of the .affee,:ion which I bear towards you, to make known to you the feelings by which his paternal goodness is animated in your favour. I trust that I shall have the satisfadion'of carrying to the foot of his Majesty's Throtie;•tiot only the homage of your fidelity and gratitude, :hut,. -also the assurance , that these reign, and shall ever • reign, in your hearts. This is for his Majesty the' richest' glory of his Throne." t Upon the delivery of this Address, the Members of the Junta solymnly assured the President, that the _ Commons of the Province had no share in the in surreaion which had taken place ; that they them selves disapproved of and detested it, declaring at the same time their feelings of atle6lion and loyalty to his Majesty, &C. The President having received these declarationS, communicated to the Junta the regulations adopted by 'his Majesty for enabling the province to enjoy the advantages ensured by the Cotenution to the whole, kingdom, together with speCial favours, tending to promote the manufac tures and commerce of Biscay—all which were re ceive'd by the Junta with the greatest thankfulness. At the close of the Sitting of the following day, the President, standing up, asked the Memoers of the Junta, whether, in all that had been submitted to their deliberation, every thing had not marked die proofs erpaternal gOo(litess on the part of iiii 11,4je4y,' and of the arrang - ementS which he will man for the•highest pro%perity of the country : they replied with acclamations of applan , ie. He then asked them, whether they lovingly, truly, and obe' .diently took the oath to the King, JosrPit NAPO LEON; they replied, that they took this oath to Jo- SEPH NAPOLEON, their Lord and King. 1 In the Sitting of the 28th August, his Excellency communicated to the Junta a circular letter of sum mons to'all the parish-priests of the province. His Majesty wished that they should assemble in the' Cousistorial House, in order that his Excellency may make known to them his just and beneficent designs for the advantage of the priesthood, and the conti- ' Bence which his Majesty places. in the zeal of the Clergy, and particularly in that of the parish priests, l'x'hose religious instruelious .are the best means of repairing the mistakes of the people." . The Jupta have taken the necessary measures for summoning and assembling this order of the Clergy as speedily as possible. . .

L 0 ND 0 A\, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1808. We are happy to state that there is every reason to believe that the whole of the Spanish Troops who were so fortunately rescued from the French yoke in. Denmark, have by this time arrived in Spain. Thel passed down Channel borne days ago, without touch" ing at' any' of our Ports. They were to land at soma Port in the North of Spain, we believe at St. An• der°. The e Fleet of Transports with Troops, whi ch sailed from Cork, have, arrived at Falmouth, whet -4 they will be joined by the other troops composing the Expedition-. Last night we received Dutch Papers to the 25th ult. which '.contain intelligence _from Parts to the 19th. The servile Senate of 14 -t rance, it appears, aro not only disposed to comply without remonstrance with the orders of BUONAPARTE, but even to go be yond his wishes, ,and to sacritice thousands or the if Country Men, not to promote the glory or to s e cure 'the inter,x4-of.l.France, bat to pla ce th e brother 0f BUONAPARTE on the Thrdne of Spain. One hull died and sixty thousand fresh Conscripts. are to be dragged from their homes for the purpose of ensla' ing Spain, or, to use the language of the Senate, to rescue the Spaniards from a shameful- yoke, and te maintain a Constitution, freely discussed, adopte4 and sworn to !" 4UONApARTE, in order lo obtain tfiese extraordin ary levies, was obliged, however relu6tantly, to ad- JKnowledge the reverses which his armies have sus' tained. Instead of declaiming upon the universali c l . which pervaded all ranks of people in Spain on the arrival of their new Sovereign, the Moniteur no' r speaks ofthe strong defensive position which the French Armies occupy in Spain, and of .the reinforceme nt; which they are to receive ; and BUONAPARTg, tirbo but a few months ago' arroga nt ly assume d the righew .of appointing a King of Spain and the Indie s ' " i thinks it, a_ su bl e a o f exultation that he has b een 3--(1 to appoint a aunta for the Province of 1316,:A) As the following intelligence appeared only in a part nt our Impression of yesterday, we think it ne,:essAri to insect it again this day : . . . . monaeui of the 'Voth Sspf. has reached town' It contains a most curious and interesting account 0 1 a Speech made by BUoNAYARTE to his Troops 0° the Parade, the preceding day. It appears that t" • o_, intelligence of the Convention in Portugal has 004 been 'q so ao?eable : 46' Boo' APARTE as the °I I : •, position Writ i ers in this Country have endeavou l° to presuade us. Soon afier the receipt of that intelligence, he - sembled his Troops on the Parade, and told al e° that their labours were by no means concluded ; 7they had traversed Austria and Prussia, but ..must now traverse France, crass the Pyrenees, 3/1 .take a dreadful vengeance upon the SpaniarCk for the ir 'Rebellion. The English, he said, bad contamina ted Spain,and Portugal with their presence, but rbe ic 'success should not be of long continuance, for 1116 :Leop!irds of Spain, Portugal, and Ebgland, s lO3- al all soon be devoured by the Eagles of France. This is the substance of this most extraordin ari Speech, the whole of which is couched in such ex ' travagant terms, that it appears more like the raw : ings of a madman than: th e sp eec h o f a Gener al his soldiers. It does no appear from Ihe Aioniteur, that this speech was received with a ny ma r k s o f applause y the soldiers. The Moniteur does not cot.ta'n any ether jot' : gence of importance.
